CVE-2026-67219

MediumCVSS 6.0
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

RabbitMQ prior to versions 3.13.15, 4.0.20, 4.1.11, 4.2.6, and 4.3.0: add_binding/3 parses the routing key as an integer weight N and computes ring positions with lists:seq(NextN0, NextN0 + N - 1). validate_binding/2 only checks N >= 1 with no upper bound. A user with write permission on a consistent-hash exchange can create a binding with a huge weight, allocating hundreds of megabytes on every cluster node.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can exhaust memory on all RabbitMQ cluster nodes, causing denial of service, and the binding survives restarts.

Recommendation

Upgrade RabbitMQ to versions 3.13.15, 4.0.20, 4.1.11, 4.2.6, or 4.3.0. Restrict permissions to create bindings on consistent-hash exchanges and monitor for unusual weight values.

Original NVD description (English source)

RabbitMQ is a messaging and streaming broker. Prior to versions 3.13.15, 4.0.20, 4.1.11, 4.2.6, and 4.3.0, add_binding/3 parses the routing key as an integer weight N and computes ring positions with lists:seq(NextN0, NextN0 + N - 1). validate_binding/2 only checks N >= 1 , no upper bound. The resulting list is stored in the exchange's Khepri record, replicated cluster-wide, and reloaded on restart. A user with write permission on a consistent-hash exchange and read on a queue can create a binding whose routing key (the hash-ring weight) is an arbitrarily large integer. The broker allocates a list of that many integers via lists:seq/2 and persists it to Khepri across all cluster nodes , a single binding with weight 100000000 allocates ~800 MB on every node and survives restarts. Preconditions include rabbitmq_consistent_hash_exchange plugin enabled write permission on a consistent-hash exchange + read on a queue (standard binding perms). This issue is fixed in versions 3.13.15, 4.0.20, 4.1.11, 4.2.6, and 4.3.0.
